Yeah, I'm right there with you (well, maybe minus the quarterlife app). It just gets to be too much, and you have to turn them off and on. Aye yay yay!

I completely agree!! Luckily, I was blessed with parents who let me dye my hair and stuff. My mom even dyes my hair and cuts it for me. She even told me that if I want to get a tattoo, I can as long as I pay for it. and if I wanted to get a piercing, I'm pretty sure they'd be cool with it. and I wear TONS of black. but it's not because I'm goth or emo or whatever. It's because black is sliming. And I accent it with other colors.

But yeah, I agree. I don't understand parents who don't let their kids express themselves. It's like they just want them to be just like them. And what they don't realize is by constricting them to this "mold" they're making them not want to tell them things and then they'll do stuff behind their backs, which just makes things worse, ya know? lol. I've obviously given this a lot of thought.
